3 Ways to Wear a White Oxford this Fall

Style

A white oxford has always been a wardrobe staple for me. It’s classic, simple, and so so versatile. I also love how it works with any season of the year. Since it never really gets hot here in San Francisco, it’s even easier to wear a white oxford shirt year-round.

I love this one I’m wearing from Tradlands. I’ve had it for a few years now and am always finding cute new ways to wear it. There always feels like there are endless possibilities to style it. It even looks so great with just a pair of jeans and flats for an effortless look.

I think if you’re looking to build out a wardrobe of simple, easy pieces, you can’t go wrong with this shirt! To give you all some inspiration, I’ve put together three ways to wear a white oxford this fall.

Home Inspiration: The Navy Velvet Couch

Home

I’m currently in the process of moving to a new San Francisco apartment. I moved to SF a year ago from NYC and have been living in a smaller one-bedroom for the past year. My new apartment has a ton more space which I’m so excited about. To prepare for my move, I’ve been looking into room inspiration for new decor especially living and bedroom decor. The one thing I want to be the focal point for the living room is a chic and eye-catching navy velvet couch. The space is very airy and bright so I want to keep everything else really light but with a dramatic navy velvet couch to pop. I’m looking to go for a timeless vintage modern feel. Nothing over the top glamourous but more laid back and comfortable. I have had my eye on this navy one from Article for such a long time.

These images are serving as inspiration for my navy velvet couch-centric living room. I’m hoping to add green, gold, and pink accents to mix in!

Fall French Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe

Style

As soon as we entered September, all I could think about were fall outfits! The day after Labor Day and I’m already over summer outfits and my mind is completely focused on blazers, jeans, trenches, and boots. It’s always a nice creative burst to go from one season to another. And even though I’m in San Francisco and the weather doesn’t change too much, I’m still ready to break out SF fall temperature ready looks.

Thinking about fall outfits has me reevaluating my base wardrobe. What can be refreshed? What do I already own? Or what do I need to buy? That starts with choosing an aesthetic or two to build a cohesive look. To do so, I’ll need clothes that will pair really well together but also things I can see myself wearing almost every day.

One aesthetic I really love is a fall french minimalist wardrobe. It’s so classic and timeless! For those of you who love it too, I’ve put together this small fall french minimalist capsule wardrobe to inspire your simple fall outfits and make curating new favorites (or repurposing old) super easy.
